This was simply a case of little interest on my part.
Some books can drag me into their world and some require me to be familiar with it already, neither of which this one was able to do for me. About the only emotional response elicited was about the trailer in Fargo, which reminded me altogether too much of the stress those type of projects and people create for me in real life.
